Does my 2-month-old Labrador puppy need health syrups or supplements?

If you feed a good quality puppy food, you shouldn't need to supplement with additional vitamins. Any excess will typically be excreted in the urine. If you feed a homemade diet, vitamin supplementation is recommended. Review the ingredients with your vet to confirm proper dosing.

At 75days of age, she is old enough to just be on a high quality kibble puppy food. There are many great foods available out there. Avoid grain free unless its verified that she has an allergy to grain. If she seems "not as healthy," though, get her in to the vet for an exam. It would be wise to take a stool sample with you to the vet as well. Thank you for asking Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

Because Ghontu is eating a high quality food, she does not need any multivitamins. Too many vitamins can have adverse effects on her growth, and it's not recommended to give them to dogs unless they are suffering from a nutritional deficiency.

I would not generally recommend using supplements unless a specific condition has been diagnosed which would benefit from nutritional treatment. I would recommend feeding a high quality, balanced food which has been formulated for his specific size and age. Adding multivitamins to a good diet can lead to accidental excesses and imbalances and can be harmful

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I would be sure he is on a good quality large breed puppy food. I like Purina Proplan or the Royal Canin or Hill's Science diet puppy foods. Feed him more than the recommended amount on the bag. At 11 weeks old he should be seeing your Vet for vaccinations. Be sure he has had his stool tested for intestinal parasites and has been dewormed a few times. Parasites are a huge issues in all puppies. Good luck!

Labs have a tendency to grow too fast, and as they get older to get fat. Therefore I like to use Nutro large breed puppy dry, then switch to adult large breed, and weight management later in life if needed. I like Nutro because it’s a complete diet and lower in calorie than most of the other dog foods. Dogs like it and there are several different Nutro varieties for you to choose from. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Arjun.

It is not recommended to give vitamins and supplements to a puppy. Lilo should only be getting a puppy formulated dog food, which will provide her with all the supplements and vitamins she needs to grow properly. Giving her too many can cause toxicity as well as adversely affect her growth. I hope this helps!
